Nazareth welcomed the Virgin Mary back with a turnout of 2,500 people in a packed Basilica of the Annunciation on Tuesday when Medjugorje visionary Vicka Ivankovic-Mijatovic had her daily apparition in the church named after one of Mary’s biggest Feast Days.

“It was wonderful, amazing, there were more than 2,500 people, and they were so happy. We had a big Holy Mass, more than 25 priests were present, and many people went to confession” Charbel Maroun, the President of the Marian Movement of Lay People in Galilee, tells Medjugorje Today.

Until this “apparition site” (Medjugorje) is approved by the Roman Catholic Church, please limit your reports to the many Marian Shrines and sites that Have bee approved by the Church. I, personally, do not believe that Mary appears anywhere upon “demand” as this article seems to infer.

Vicka, HAD HER VISION. Whatever would we do without it? The new Joseph Smith. What is it exactly that the followers crave?

Thank you sincerely Brother Andre Marie:
It is gratifying to hear these words from you about these reported “apparitions.”
As you well know, the Roman Curia (the new Church Committee to look into this
matter) has a dilemma about what to do with Medjugorje. For instance, what will they do with all the ‘Medjugorians’ throughout the world if they say it is not genuine? And likewise, if approved, to those who oppose it. These daily
“visions” cannot be visions as we understand the term. The seer gets daily messages???? And surely, the most egregious fact is that Mary is appearing to the seer as if “on demand” to ‘satisfy’ the Pilgrims.

I put this to you and all peoples of the world, not only Catholics: If Mary was truly appearing daily, I or anyone else would never leave or desire to leave the sacred ground on which she appears. Four of the Five seers have left Medjugorje.

I do not fault the Pilgrims, I fault those instrumental in promoting this ‘site’ over dozens of years. In the end, Rome will not approve this apparition site. They can’t – there are just toooooo many problems, many, MANY of which have already been disclosed.

Thank you for listening to me, Sincerely in Christ and His Immaculate Mother,
Mary. I am Zal, OCDS

Agreed Zal. You make very good points – of course the Blessed Virgin does not appear on demand. Who are we to command the Queen of Heaven? We are just mortals, nothing. And I agree about the point about them leaving sacred ground – Bernadette left Lourdes yes but not France. Sr Lucia left Fatima but for the most part stayed in Portugal.
